Bliss Lau ear hookA couple of years ago, jewelry designer Bliss Lau was at the forefront of the bodychain trend, and now that they've become increasingly common, it's natural that she would be pushing the boundaries further, and exploring the full potential of the designs. Having started her career as a bag designer, Bliss has always incorporated leather elements into her designs. This season, she created a number of intricate showpieces constructed from hundreds of thin strips of leather mixed with chain and metal elements that help structure the designs. The stunning result is somewhere between jewelry and a garment, as they often follow the seamlines of a traditional blouse of dress, but are still meant to be worn as accessories over your clothes (although I know plenty of ladies who would wear them with nothing underneath). It's difficult to see how beautiful they are on the hanger, but the pieces truly come to life on the human body, and you can truly see what they look like on the dancers that modeled the pieces at her presentation.
